This study investigates the relationship between strategic human resource management (SHRM), employee engagement, employee empowerment, and organizational excellence within the context of Hannah Hotel Syariah, a Syariah-compliant hospitality business. Utilizing a quantitative research design, data were collected from 50 employees through an online questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS 3.0. The results reveal that SHRM has a significant positive impact on both employee engagement and organizational excellence, with employee engagement playing a critical mediating role between SHRM and organizational outcomes. However, employee empowerment did not have a direct or indirect effect on organizational excellence in this context. These findings highlight the importance of engagement strategies aligned with organizational and religious values in achieving long-term success. The study concludes that SHRM practices that focus on enhancing employee engagement can improve both employee satisfaction and the overall performance of Syariah-compliant organizations.
